[Official] Reggie Bush or Someone else -- Vince Young out of running

YaoMing- Have you heard Casserly or McNair say they're gonna draft Bush straight from their mouth? NOTHING is set in stone, nothing.

 

I think it's funny that everyone says Carr's not the problem. Well neither is DD. Carr's not a problem, but VY is a future star at the most important position in football.

 

Gooch - This draft pick is as set in stone as Reggie Bush's heisman trophy!

 

QB is a much tougher position than RB. What makes you so confident that he will be so good at the next level? Please I would love to hear.

 

Just like the Rose Bowl right?

Funny you mention that: I just bought a shirt that says on the Front: Heisman!? Back: We don't need no stink'n Heisman. I thought it was pretty funny.

 

Well it's quite easy. I look at how he tore apart college teams, and excelled in the biggest game of his life. That leads me to think he's going to be pretty damn good -- the same logic you're using for Bush, actually.

 

You know, people keep bringing up the marketing side of this pick and who would bring more fans. Well, I look at it as actually Young vs. Carr in this regard. Let's look at the numbers...

Which is the biggest total of people?

UT fans

or

Houston women.

 

Isn't such assurrances etc. . considered tampering

Rocket River

 

I think the UT fans are scared that if the Texans take Reggie Bush, it will put an asterick next to thier National Championship this year. People will look back on the past and see how the hometowners went with Reggie thus validating his superiority. The Trojans were better and Reggie was better.

It does look quite bad from a UT fans standpoint!

UT 2006 National Championship! *

* Even the Texans selected Reggie Bush

 

Bitter USC fan (or UT-Hater) trying to make himself feel a little better.

 

thats the stupidiest thing i've ever heard..

gucci...where did u get the t-shirt?

 

You mean like every other player who's been drafted high and been a bust?

 

Can anybody tell me whose senior year stats these are?

4839 yds 62.6% completion 46 TD
300 yds in 11 out of 14 games
400 yds in 3 games, including a 432-yard, six-touchdown performance in two-and-a-half quarters

 

I do believe they were David Carr's stats.

The Houston Texans blew it the last time they had a tough decision to make. Their choice of quarterback David Carr over defensive end Julius Peppers is largely why they’ve earned the first overall pick in the draft for the second time since tabbing Carr four years ago.


With Heisman Trophy winning running back Reggie Bush and the best player in college football, quarterback Vince Young on their radar, the Texans can’t go wrong in the upcoming lottery, right?

Uh, yes they can. At least that’s their plan.

The Texans want to hang on to Carr, who has fooled a lot of scouts but darn few NFL teams. If they pass on Young to choose Bush because they think Carr is legit, they can expect to be vying for the first overall pick and searching for another new head coach in the next three or four years.

Bush undoubtedly is a fine player. He’s touted as a threat to score every time he touches the ball, although that wasn’t the case in the Rose Bowl. On SC’s most significant play, he was on the sideline watching teammate Lendale White’s unsuccessful fourth-and-one run. The Longhorns took him out of the game.

Young also has incredible athletic ability. Moreover, he has a unique blend of leadership and will to win. The Trojans knew they only had to stop Young half of the time in order to win the Rose Bowl and the national championship. That they were unable to do so tells you a lot about Young.

Young can keep plays alive all day with his scrambling ability. His arm is more than adequate. He’s got aura.

The Texans would be better off drafting Bush’s teammate Matt Leinart, the quarterback that won the Heisman two years ago, than choosing Bush and teaming him with Carr. Don’t expect too much out of Texans general manager Charley Casserly. He drafted Carr instead of Peppers, the perennial Panthers Pro Bowler that came off the board right after Carr.

 

Co-Op. It's a grey shirt w/ orange trim on the neck and sleeves.

Yep, those are very impressive stats. But let's not forget that the WAC is one of the weakest conferences in college football. They also lost 3 games to Boise St, Hawaii, and Michigan State, not exactly elite competition.

Here's the real question: Who's 3 years stats are these? And where is he now? Hint: Same conference. Passing stats don't mean a whole lot in the WAC where defense isn't part of a gameplan.

2002: 4474 yds 56% completion 25 TD
2003: 4199 yds 59% completion 29 TD
2004: 4258 yds 60% completion 38 TD

 

Wow. Just... wow. Your post is so incredibly and thoroughly childish and stupid, it has the potential to invalidate every one of your posts before it. I mean, we're talking like "Gigli career suicide" bad here. "Ignore list" bad even.

"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

 

Excellent point, RR. Could the Texans face heavy fines or penalties if true?

 

I think tampering rules apply to potential free agents or coaches who are still in the playoffs, not guys who might come out of college. It is usually one team complaining about another team talking to their players or coaches.

But nice try Vince fans.

 

You can take my humor in anyway you like, but either way... Reggie Bush will be the next Texan! Im just having fun with all the UT fans who are the most bitter out of this whole thing. How can I be bitter if they are going with the guy that I would choose?
